I had a smallmouth following my crankbait as it came up by the boat, so I gave my rod a twitch then a very short pause and the smallmouth crushed the bait. The only reason I caught that fish is because I was watching my lure when it came into sight.
I have had this happen many times before but it happened again last weekend. Always watch your lure when it comes up by the boat, because sometimes you can pick up a bonus fish.
